George Kollias - Sacrifice unto Sebek (Intense Metal Drumming DvD)

[Swingline2121]

He is moving so fast his hands do that DBZ liney warp thing.

[Tamtenyo]

is he human?

[Bruno1P]

1:06 ---> Dramatic Snare

[rednose70]

im thinkin he should get the title: best in the world

[GoatSkinner666]

Anyone know what type of pedals he uses?

[Naaga88]

@GoatSkinner666 As far as I know, he uses Axis pedals, but with Iron Cobra beaters.

[themistoklas]

@GoatSkinner666 he uses DAF truck pedals

[DavidHelldrummer]

This is nothing. This is the true master of death metal drumming /watch?v=bjvwxUmdAN0 HÖHÖHÖHÖ NOT! fucking Hail Kollias! \m/

[Devenialverdict]

george kollias is the most one-dimensional drummer in the world. yes, he's fast but every fill is similar four snares, four toms etc. he is just really boring to watch.

[1978Borderline]

@Devenialverdict No you're thinking of Lars Ulrich, not George Kollias.

[leewollenschlaeger]

@Devenialverdict Finally someone that agrees with me! Thank you

[sebbimon]

7 People were the sacrifices for Sebek. :c

[ramplestunkskin]

sacrifice unto trebek

[MattiSalman]

1:06 dramatic snare ... 

[brickceo]

Does anyone have a vid link where Gearge is actually playing with live musicians? preferably live? Is he actually with a band? Has anyone seen him live?

[Naaga88]

@brickceo He is with the band Nile, there is a bunch of videos of him playing live with them. I've seen George with Nile live and he is one hell of a drum machine. I also have a picture with him :3

[feuerfrei71]

@Naaga88 i saw them a couple years ago. they are by far the most intense show ive seen live. them with black dahlia murder in march. holy shit

[MorbidMinisterX]

@brickceo hahahaha... He plays with a band called Nile look up their stuff!

[osfp4ever666]

@brickceo yes with NILE

[MrSatanochio]

@brickceo Search for George Kollias blasting out Annihilation of the wicked. See for yourself. And there are more videos from the same concert. But there are a lot of other videos... Just type his name and search :P

[MrMig3]

@brickceo He pays with nile, actually this song is by them, and yes there are many live vids of them

[evilant]

@brickceo he was (and still is) very popular in the metal community way before the drummer world started to notice him. Grab the Nile albums and prepared to be blown away.

[FeedThemCake]

I think Romain Goulon is the best extreme drummer I've come across.

[novembre8211]

@FeedThemCake Me personally, I think the two of them are just about eaqul. Anything George could play, Romain could play and vice versa. But again, that's my opinion

[luisangelripper]

DRUM GOD!!

[Dudeatrix]

it be cool if he play the Egyptian Gong thing

[pointlessin]

lol 5 dislikes by joey, lars, dave, vitek, Zbigniew and tony.

[ChuckSchuldinerRIP0]

@pointlessin Vitek is dead. That's not funny man.

[DennyIsSFU]

@pointlessin thats 6 people lol

[greaterJAY]

George is quite the inspiration for any musician, so fun to listen to and watch, thanks for the post...

[Sabianstix85]

Pfft!, no way Mangini is faster than Kollias!.

[JonasOfSweden]

@Sabianstix85 His hands are.

[skiddae16]

i used to play like this too, but then i took and arrow in the knee

[TheMorbidAsshole]

AIR DRUMMING TO THIS SONG CAN BREAK YOUR FUCKING LEGS

[Maledicted]

George is great, the DVD is great, Sacrifice Unto Sebek is great. My only complaint is with the camera operator who's trying to give me a seizure.

[Naaga88]

@Maledicted Yeah, well it's sad but true.

[nepalibambolelo]

@Maledicted I think its because the camera operator himself was having a seizure because of the greatness of George Kollias lol

[HabAnagarek]

@Maledicted Yes. Nowadays, it's a contest of how many fucking cuts, zooms, dissolves you can cram into every second of film, be it an instructional video, your average, mundane episode of the Office or iCarly, or a feature film. The most that electronic editing has given us is sensory overload...

[Maledicted]

@HabAnagarek Too right, mate. I work in video advertising and you wouldn't believe how much of my time I spend hammering sense into people who think that staying on top of the trend and making a video that looks like an LSD trip is going to launch their product to the top.

Not to mention this is supposed to be an instructional video, yeah? Are we really expected to be able to follow which limb does what, at >200 BPM, when the camera angle changes every fuckin 0.4 seconds?

[velas1985]

carl and dallas could make a mistake in this video..george not!

[MultiBrutaltruth]

realmente es fast cabronemente rapido es un moustro ..!!!! karajo

[thewarlord333]

He gained his foot strength from climbing all those stairs in Greece.

[YouNoob93]

George didn't used to be able to play fast double-bass, but then he took an arrow to the knee

[Sabianstix85]

@YouNoob93 Oh geez, its world wide!.

hey ive always wondered, Maybe im the Dragonborn and just dont know it yet?.

[Snakebelmont]

he reminds me of apu doing the hummingbird imppression

[SuperNotNoob]

I swear, George Kollias secretly has 5 feet...

[SonataArctica6666]

haha, this wasn't taken from an educational dvd, it was a tape stolen from the future, showing how the end of the world will be brought about with Kollias' drumming.

[mcard1d]

RIP drumkit: 2008 - 2010

[843andrew]

i dont play drums but this is great

[sebaswildboy]

I shall sing you the song of my people

[Caveiristo]

Really great drummer

[ADiaryIKeep]

teach me your ways.

[donSparda]

Who needs cardio excercise when you`ve got Death Metal drumming :)

[yuiyui27]

he owns the fucking cameras \m/

[mouchochi13]

Why watch porn when you can watch this?

[MrNativePride2010]

If you dont sound like this when you drum, youre doing it wrong

[TheDaltonator1234]

He looks like a fucking idiot while drumming but he's so fucking good

[xJMAN07x]

@TheDaltonator1234 Everyone looks like an idiot when they play... they just don't realize it.

[SasquatchLegend]

I always imagined George Kollias to be a breed of octopus.

[RANDALLH18]

where's your god now?!

heeeere's my god!

[Metal69Rush]

If I could drum as fast as I can ever imagine , I'd still be slower than Kollias.

[jonrusch92]

@Metal69Rush what band does he play for Im kinda new to drums 3 years He is crazy good.

[Metal69Rush]

@jonrusch92 He plays for Nile, the most technically talented extreme metal band known to man.

[SuperNotNoob]

i wanna try to do a drum cover for this... but i'd have to do it at 1/100th the speed

[LHondrums]

sacrifice unto kebab

[Naaga88]

@LHondrums you made my day

[AndroxineVortex]

@LHondrums I dont get it...

[dchalf10]

@AndroxineVortex I think it's maybve because Kollias is Greek, maybe kebabs originate from Greece.

[7Anubisss]

@LHondrums: sacrifice kebab unto me!

[157Gardenal]

@LHondrums also made my day

[BabiesInTheSnow]

Anyone notice he has his eyes closed the entire time?

Pure proof that George is a Greek God.

[asfetiu1]

Istny szatan!!!!

[Aivarim]

A Nile song can weary George himself!

[c0d3x001]

imma (try to) play my blast beats with just one foot from now on

[666XUL]

real gods are from Corinth, Hail to George !

[kommisar]

I like how he goes nuts at the end of the song. Just wish the sound quality here were better.

[Naaga88]

@kommisar Try putting it on 480p, this is the best quality I could have given, it was hard for me to cut .vob files :)

[kommisar]

@Naaga88 Yeah, it's on 480p, and that's as high as it goes.

[PhiyukYu]

hes pretty good lmao

[RussianMetalhead666]

I knew that Nile is fucking techniquiale but not soooooo extreeemeee LOL! XD Fucking nice!

[RussianMetalhead666]

WHAAAAAAAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!?!?!?­!?!?!!?!!?!?!??!!

FREAAAAAKYYY SHIT XDDDD  OMG THATS METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Threske]

Easily one of the top 10 best extreme metal drummers in the world. I've seen Nile live a number of times, including circa the In Their Darkened Shrines days (2003) with Tony Laureano, and while I like Tony (he's a veteran of the scene and has played with many great bands), George is just the superior drummer. He's so comfortable and laser-precise live he makes Laureano look sloppy and slow.

[wipezama]

the soon of chuck norris

[ROXENDO]

4 personas se frustraron al no poder hacer Blast Beat de este DVD!

[Naaga88]

@dime133 No, that was George's first album with Nile. Roddy played on ''Black Seeds of Vengeance'' as a session drummer, and he was later succeeded by Tony Laureano, and then came George on ''Annihilation of the Wicked''.

[Corrosive1]

@Naaga88 true dat

[dime133]

@Naaga88 Thank you for sharing, glad ya told me rather than me walking around thinking it was Roddy haha! That's sick as fuck. Roddy is such a damn machine too though..so that's a tough one for me.

[dime133]

@Naaga88 Thanks for the correction. :) That, along with this DVD, changed my perspective for sure. I will say that I borrowed Roddy's instructional DVD from a friend and it's absolutely killer also, both are sick.

[85Aheadstix]

@dime133 Piss off!, Kollias plays everything that roddy plays but better and faster!.

[dime133]

@85Aheadstix That whole story changed real quick when I learned that Kollias was on AOTW..chill guy. ;)

[85Aheadstix]

@dime133 Whats AOTW???.

[dime133]

@85Aheadstix Annihilation of The Wicked, Nile's first cd with Kollias on drums.

[GerMaggot555]

you only see this and say that he is fucking amazing .. ! when you have the entire dvd you will see that he can play jazz too ... so he can play everything .. fucking sick !

[Unrated48]

Guys if you like George Kollias, also check out Spencer Pewett (From the band ArchSpire) They are really underrated, so please check them out :) Their drummer = or > George Kollias ;)

[haunter600]

@Unrated48 No.

[billdim1]

@Unrated48 he is good but no way better than george

[chuchahan]

I would love to have him as my drummer, if i only have a band o_0

[garyhicks09]

No point in playing that fast when you end up sounding like shit.

[malevolency]

@garyhicks09 whut do u mean?

[websterx9]

@garyhicks09 Like shit? what are you? gay emo shit lover? what the fuck man!!? this is death metal!

[tatonghudas]

@garyhicks09 and there's no point listening to this speed if your ear is already shit. :)

[konekoalexis]

The best drummer in metal!!

[Flyhazeman22]

i love watching his one footed blasts

[Lastshadow94]

Little known fact: In the studio, instead of putting a mic on the bass drums, they record either a hummingbird, amachine gun firing, or a guy farting and add it to the drum track.

[DimebagHK]

@Lastshadow94 Ya, you're absolutely hilarious.

[Corrosive1]

@Lastshadow94 most of the machineguns are actually firing slower than those pedals. For real I mean.

[fnuggie]

2 people quit drumming after watching this

[xjn22]

FUCKIN INHUMAN

[warzoneproduction]

hes so fucking sick :D

[ymer92]

lol i think he changes sticks as often as condoms... and buys new shoes as often as... condoms too! wtf

[xXParanormalPunxXx]

I wonder what would happen to Earth if he started doing stick tricks?

[dfrossness]

Wow. Incredible. Best metal drummer who has ever lived.

[therealvoltage]

This guy can triple my double bass speed...

with one foot.

[XchrisXheadX]

@allmetaliswelcome

Seriously, that choke at :57 is nuts.

[zachf914]

maybe its the shoes that makes him go fast.... no.... no.. nevermind...

[Doneyear]

@3PicDrUm3R Yeah, the thing is with Nile songs is that it's not mostly feet (like how most metal songs are) but that they require you to use your hands.

Nevertheless, this is insane.

[Necronaut]

@Doneyear that was a very uneducated statement. most metal songs are not mostly feet. you havent even heard half the music out there in metal.

[Doneyear]

@Necronaut That is true, I haven't heard half the metal music out there, but if you were to take a guestimate, like I said, MOST of the time you would hear faster blasting with feet, not hands.

[Necronaut]

@Doneyear blasting is a technique that uses your hands and feet -__- just feet would be a bass roll. and most of the time i hear more hands then feet in death metal. because feet are much harder to control.

[Doneyear]

@Necronaut Well aware, but that wasn't what I was saying. Take Inferno for example, he bomb blasts alot. If I'm correct, bomb blasting is where your hand is 1/2 the speed of both of your feet. Blasts generally have faster feet, not hands. But whatever, if you've heard more hands than feet, that's cool.

[Necronaut]

@Doneyear blast do not generally have faster feet. do you even play drums?

[Doneyear]

@Necronaut Yes, though I'm not proficient in the Death Metal field, but I do enjoy listening to it, and I'm just making a comment that I generally hear faster feet with blasts than hands. Though, your passive aggressiveness is annoying the hell out of me.

[Necronaut]

@Doneyear ok well you went from generalizing all death metal, to just talking about the ones you've heard. fuck you suck ass

[overhemd3000]

I can do it with 1 foot and 1 hand, Joke :P

I think i need 8 legs and 8 hands xD

[christian100xxx]

super algun dia

[bounty2444]

god daaammmnnn..

[KatharsisWorks]

he is very good, but I think Inferno from Behemoth plays patterns that sound better (even if they aren't technically that advanced)

[Necronaut]

@KatharsisWorks patterns? you mean like blast beats, lol, because thats 80% of infernos drumming. not that george's is any less.

[TheSheitan69]

yeahhhhhhhhh

[allmetaliswelcome]

the cymbal mute at 0:57 and how quick he gets back is INSANE! it's like it's sped up but it's the pure reality 0_0!

[ChwyZzZ]

@allmetaliswelcome OMFG I hadn't even seen that D: SICK !!

[gamebeetle]

It's definitely got... hmm. how do I put this.... Zazzzz.

[gamebeetle]

All this needs is. some.... you know, zazzz.....

[Fuhjigglepoft]

@gamebeetle All this needs is nothing. GK fucking kicks ass

[MrLuxaras]

[warmaster2006]

2:15-2:16 (in the good sense of the phrase) THIS SON OF A BITCH IS INCREDIBLE! I SAW NILE LIVE TWICE AND HE NEVER STOPS IMPRESSING ME, THIS GUY IS FROM ANOTHER PLANET!

[KelanteV]

at what bmp is at 2:17?? thats must be 280 for sure

[Painkiller1157]

The only reason I hate this guy is because he makes this shit look so goddamn easy. XD

[Fuhjigglepoft]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMM­MMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNN

[DrumCoversFromHell]

OH

OH

I KNOW WHERE I HEARD THIS

IT'S CHUCK NORRIS' HEARTBEAT

[thisisformusiconly]

@DrumCoversFromHell Is he drinking pure cocaine laced with LCD flavored with meth?

[DrumCoversFromHell]

@thisisformusiconly Just a daily basis i guess

[thisisformusiconly]

@DrumCoversFromHell Ha, awesome. I bet he has like 4 -5 gallons a day, i mean it is chuck norris.

[renshammar]

He must've played this song hundreds and hundreds of times, yet he looks so passionate when he plays it. Gotta love that :)

[supersizedninja]

This is uhh...fuking-mazing!!

[zantoine]

:O

[shredmeover]

Look, I love George, but allllll he does are single strokes. In no way does that make him the best drummer. I mean, he may have the fastest single strokes ever. But that's probably it. I'm not hating on him. He's one of my favorite Death Metal drummers, and i guess if all you listen to is death metal, well then he may be the best drummer ever to you. But try listening to Marco Minnemann. That guy plays literally every style of music and can be heard on Necrophagist's Epitaph album.

[metalguy625]

@shredmeover Marco didn't play on Epitaph, that was Hannes Grossmann. And George can play just about everything, He's well studied in jazz drumming.

[shredmeover]

@metalguy625 I may have my facts messed up, for instance on the Wikipedia of Epitaph it lists Hannes, but you can see on their website it lists Marco as the drummer for their "upcoming" album. this was a while back of course. but as for George playing Jazz, PLEASE point me to a video of this. Because i simply do not believe it. I used to be a big fan, and I've never seen him play anything outside of Death Metal that didn't consist of single strokes only.

[metalguy625]

@shredmeover Marco was their touring drummer back in 07' and Romain Goulon is the current drummer(past few years). and George's teacher was the Greek Jazz great Yannis Stavropoulos.



[skillnub70]

@shredmeover Should probably look at his channel-his Drum Lessons video shows quite a bit of non-single strokeness.

[MisterWhat666]

DEREK RODDY > GEORGE KOLLIAS

[Hheawy]

@MisterWhat666 meh...

more like Derek Roddy = George Kollias

[shredmeover]

@MisterWhat666 I agree dude, DR is a much more versatile drummer in my opinion.

[Gospel969]

there is only one man who can play this correctly, his name is G.K.

[MrHolm5]

Jizzed and shit my pants at the same time.

[Ecwjr007]

no one should even think about doing a drum cover of this.

[shropshirewarrior]

Just went ARGHHHHH what did i just see from 2.15 to 2.25! Phenomonal!

[turquoiseguy]

Definitely one of the best death metal drummers ever! His blasts are insane!

[jkp246]

OMG best drummer ever

[sohaib785]

mind blowing!! i hope to play like him one day!

[AvgerisCannibal]

he is the damn best....

[ThePaintballgun]

Nice kit man wats the price

[RiseWithTheFalen4]

@ThePaintballgun i have the same one, its around 8,000 for the custom built kit alone and with the rack +1000, plus all those cymbals, stands, heads, and axis pedals, i would say in the end that kit is worth upwards of 15,000-20,000 USD

[basruttenX]

how does he still have time to flip the sticks....... O.O

[kondiasseln]

i love this guy ;D Goerge kollias is the best drummer (for me)

[EdguyRocketRide]

@kondiasseln i like him too, his pedal is flipping back always like the first kick, but tim yeung etc , if you're watching them, without triggers the sound would'nt be as good as george :-)

[Thomasgipsy]

Best death metal drummer ever for sure but also one of the best metal drummers ever,almost inhuman

[Level80irl]

@Thomasgipsy He is fuckin bad ass but Hannes Grossman will eat him

[Thomasgipsy]

@Level80irl I` m sorry but not even God himself will eat him!
